Peter Ladue may be notable, but the article seemed more like it was intended to promote him, like a CV. This could be considered Wikipedia:Spam and you also need to cite sources to establish his notability. Sorry if it seemed a bit harsh. I can restore the article if you don't have a copy, but you would need to do a lot of work on it as outlined above. Deb (talk) 20:51, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
Peter Ladue is restored as requested. Deb (talk) 11:43, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Peter Ladue has been reverted. Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): rule: '\byoutube\.com' (link(s): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RM7dcWR-jCo&feature=related) . If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. an image or a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, or similar site, then please check the information on the external site thorougly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creators copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks!

[edit]Hi. There are a few more things to be done, like add categories. Year of birth is normally included in the introduction. Read Wikipedia:Manual of Style (biographies) for further guidance. And the photograph is huge! Could you reduce the size, please? The whole thing does still sound a bit like a CV (or a resumé as I think you call them in the USA) but it's better than it was.

Thanks for helping expand the article I created. I've done some cleanup work in fixing your links to other Wikipedia articles. Lugnuts (talk) 08:46, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
- No problem. I've tided up your article too. Your picture reminds me of Stanley Kubrick! Happy editing. Lugnuts (talk) 18:10, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
